About the Book

What is the purpose of life on Earth? Philosopher, Jacob Needleman, frames man's role on the planet in a completely new and fresh way, moving beyond the visual environmental concerns to reveal how the care and maintenance of a world is something vital and basic to our existence as authentic human beings. In some of his most deeply affecting writing, Needleman draws on his childhood experiences with a terminally ill friend whose impending death forces the young boys to face questions on the meaning of existence at an early age - questions that Needleman carried with him in his explorations of science and philosophy throughout his career as a scholar of religions. The conclusions that he reaches will give us all a new sense of the purpose of our lives and the planet we live on.

Review :
2013 Nautilus Books for a Better World Silver winner as Best Ecology/Environment Book
An immensely learned man who is unembarrassed by the big questions that many of his fellow philosophers prefer to dodge.
"Chicago Tribune "
The first thoughtful author to present the teachings of the new spiritual renaissance to the general public.
"San Francisco Sunday Examiner & Chronicle"
For nearly four decades Jacob Needleman has confronted the central questions of our era in light of the vision that lies at the root of the world s great spiritual traditions. Needleman s work "clarifies" it takes topics that exist in disparate threads throughout our culture new religions, esoteric Christianity, the founding mythos of America and frames them in a manner both sensible and deeply questioning.
